The Moulin Rouge is a world-famous Parisian cabaret known for dazzling performances and stunning chanteuses. So, it’s the perfect place for literary inspiration. When writer Christian sets eyes on Satine, he’s lovestruck. It’s not all fair in love and war though, as Satine is promised to the Duke in order to save the Moulin Rouge before it collapses.

There’s plenty of eccentric characters in Moulin Rouge! The Musical, including host Harold Zidler, as well as artists Santiago, Toulouse-Lautrec and Nini. But, you’ll be drawn into Satine and Christian’s blossoming romance, doing all they can to just tell their story. Wish you could visit the Moulin Rouge? Now you can-can-can.
